joining
The process of a node becoming part of a ZigBee PAN. A node becomes part of a
network by joining to a coordinator or a router (that has previously joined to the
network). During the process of joining, the node that allowed joining (the parent)
assigns a 16-bit address to the joining node (the child).
network maximum depth
The level of descendents from a coordinator. In a MaxStream PAN, the network
maximum depth is 5.
maximum child routers
The maximum number of routers than can join to one node. The maximum number
of child routers in a MaxStream PAN is 6.
maximum child end devices
The maximum number of end devices than can join to one node. The maximum
number of child end devices in a MaxStream PAN is 14.
network address
The 16-bit address assigned to a node after it has joined to another node.
operating channel
The frequency selected for data communications between nodes. The operating
channel is selected by the coordinator on power-up.
energy scan
A scan of RF channels that detects the amount of energy present on the selected
channels. The Coordinator uses the energy scan to determine the operating channel.
route request
Broadcast transmission sent by a coordinator or router throughout the network in
attempt to establish a route to a destination node.
route reply
Unicast transmission sent back to the originator of the route request. It is initiated
by a node when it receives a route request packet and its address matches the
Destination Address in the route request packet.
route discovery
The process of establishing a route to a destination node when one does not exist in
the Routing Table. It is based on the AODV (Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector
routing) protocol.
